New Your, June 22.—A dense crowd filled the Brooklyn City Court-room this morning, tho numbor of Jadies in attendance being on the in- oresao, and all the parties to the suit were present. Judge Noilson stated that some of the jury were in bis room this morning, and from con~ versations with them in regard to the occurrence of Jast evening, ho beliovod that they wore labor fog under misapprebonsions. Mr, rullerton and Mr, Evarts made a fow re- marks ou the eame subject, and aaid that all the issues Mr. Boecher bad to meot wero those pro- sented by witnesres on tho stand, and not those advanced against him inthe newspapers, con- taining outeido issues. A ‘NEMLHON'S CHARGE. Judge Netleon thon said that he had obsorved in some of the eveving papers & paragraph to the effect that his chargo bad beon prepared two Mmonthe ago, and that ho had some tas since recoived requests to charga from somo of tho counsel; but, in justice to himsoif and the coun- sel, be felt compelled to state that hie charge was not yot tinishod, but was now iu process of proparation, and that he had not received any requeste to charge. He was of opinion that, if he was allowed to deliver his charge first, bo could do itin such s mannor as that counsot would havo but fex requests to make, and thoso they could advance aftor tho charge had boon ven. : eocers, Fullerton and Evarts scquissced in this mattor. 3M. BEACH CONTINUES. My. Beach thon arose and continued his sum. ming up to the jury aod read tho Jatter from Beecher to Mrs, ‘Cilton, in which bo speaks of “a bird singing in tho heart," and in which he mentioned ‘truc inwarduess.” Tho ‘“nost- hiding " letter was also road by the counsel, who took this opportunity of dieclaiming that they took tho moauing of tho word to be adultors, ‘That was noteo, as it moant concealment. In Boechor's novel, ‘ Norwood,” he likens « deli- cate woman concealing her love to a bird, covor- ing 1t up with vines and loaves. In tho lotter of Juno 1, 1873, Boochor said he was spending bie Jast Sunday aod preaching his Jast sermon, and in Tilton’s testimony it appeata Leecher asked him to givo him notico it hu was going to pub- lish documents, thathe might olthor take his life by suicide or take 5 yoysgo to somo forelgn land. The jury also remomberea tho evidence given by Mra. Moulton. Counsel would trouble them with a few remarks upon. TUE TESTIMONY OF RIcuANDS, in which he stated that hosaw Beccher in the front room and Mrs, Tilton moving hastily away, wath flushed chooks. ‘Tho jury might uot give the pialuuia's couusol any credit for thus bring- ing her brothor to tostity against his sister, and that horror of tho situation did not strike thom, Connvel had not pressed the witnoss vory closo- ly, as they had got enough from him to serve all their purposos. We aro told that Mra. Tilton lovod dir. Beocher, and also that he had afecling forher. Romomber this ooodition of thingezin that light, Beochor on a chair, tho door opened suddenly and this woman spring- {og away from him wilh burning chocke, Was not this # aituation which would cauee sua- icion to enter the heart of a brother? Wo ‘old that Beocher visited Mra. Titton to pray with and advise bor, but this was not the attitude of prayer that they wero in whon tho door was oponed, It was suggested that in tho impulse of tho moment, and in embarrassmont, she did not advance to her brother to groet him, but went to a window, thue showing sho was cognizaut of the naturo of her impropriety. Was this witness, therefore, to be belioved ? Conaowol thon pavscd into the consideration of REDPATI'S TESTIMONY. Ho road the intorview which Medpath had with Tilton at the time hogot the “ True Story" from him, and also an interviow which Redpath had with Tiltoo whon Moulton was present, oa which occasion Hedpath mentioned the fact that he was yong to Bee Boochor, aud ‘Tutou ssid, “Toll fim that I charge adultery,” Counsel then read the lettor from Mrs. Morse to Boochor, in which, ehe ways, when she thinks of the misery he had caused to the family, and beard him cracking his jokoa, she thought with the paalnust, “There was no God." joechor made no iuquiries of ber as to why sbe charged her daughjor's misery to him, and tho troubles iu thie family household. What would Beechor doit he had been inuocent of thecharge? In- stead of writing, he would have gone to her aud DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION of this language used about him, as pnre and fonocent sa he wald bo was, and nover uttering an improper word to her, Could this man, if he was innocent, uubmit to these charges without Temonatrance? If be could, ho did not inberit the same nature as counsul aud the jury, In another letter, Mre. Morse depicts the straits and circumstances her daughter (Aru. Tilton) was in, aud implores ~bim (Beecher) to come, and tho secret of her daugh- ter's lite would not be mentioned. Bhe know it waa bard to bring it up, aud thas be must havo euffered intensely. Sho thought it atrange that be (Beecher) should ask bor to CALL MIM ** ox," and yot, sald counsel, Beecher, according to his view of bis oonduot, had nover done anything which should induce Mru. Morse to recuguize Lim as ber son. Ho bad never done snytbhing to that daughter which justitied Mrs, Morse in calling bim "son." It was entirely competent that Sirs. Morso should have taken the stand and explained very word of these ro- markable lettars, Why was it thet Tilton, Moulton, and Beocher catled dirs. Morse a dangerons woman? and why were these lenery read hero without any explanation from Mr, Beecher ?_ ‘These lottors were sousi- ble and intelligent. There were no signs in then ofs wandering intellect. Mr. Porter had sug- geutad that those were but the wenderings of a mind overturned through the fsmily troubles ; but thero was not the slightest fouudation for hia euggestion. Homo signiticance was to beattachd to the interview of the 83th of Decem- ber, at Br. Kreclead’s house, between Beooher and Bowen, 4 BOLD DEMA: 4D WAS MADE OF BEECHES. It waa insclest and bad no foundtlon, How did Beeohor meet it?

If st that tims Beecher had no knowledge of the love born to bim by Mrs, Tiltop, what wan it made , th mau, if bw-‘waa innocont, tequegt of Bowon a statement of whether bis fedlings ware friondly to him or not? Heecher then saw the peconuty of. ‘aietractlog Bowen's attention from Tilton aud secunog him as sn ally for himself. He took tho right course to do an, thuagh of bie motives wo are ignorant; yet tho man who made this demsud from wen WAS STILL A MEMBER OF BRECHEN'S cHoncH, and partook of his ministratioos, and did it not throw a light on the matter when tho jary con- aidored Beocher's appeal to Bowen, which came from bis trembling lps, to ba a friend to bim? Mr. Beach then doclared that. Boocher, if inno- cant, could not bave rested under the aasortion of Bowon, made to Howard in 1470, that he kvew ove thing which coulddrive Beecher outol Drook- Ivo, and which Beocher did not dare deny.

To the Editer of The Chteace Tridune: Caicaco, June 22,.—Without infringing on the province of Judge or jury, or prejudging on the merits of the Beecher case, it can scarcely be doubted that no final satisfactory verdict can be obtained from the present jury; and that there muat either bo a now trial or a failure of juntico.

Ho acknowledged that tLe supplementary Constitutional bills were cou- to thd principles of = MM, and Montjau: that they did not intrust the President of tho Republic with tho role of an Americen President, which would render necossary tho alteration of alt French laws, He iustauced the law which em- poweis the President to fix the numbsr of tho military contingent, There was no analogy be- tweon France and the United States. He concluded as follows: “In organiz- ing Government for France wo did not start from an abstract point of yiow. We asked for the couditious necossary to place the executive in harmony with French cuatuins aud traditions. Even if you could rove that the Public Powers bill was iucompat- blo with the Ropublic, we think tho cuuutry would sacrifice the abstract principle aud orefor a Government more in harmony with ity own obaracter.” ‘Tho Right cheered the speech throughout.
